Carly turned around and saw Nigel, Fiona, Adam, Celine, and Hailey standing by the door. Her eyes instantly widened in shock, and she froze on the spot.
She blurted out in disbelief, "Why are you all here?"
Adam stepped forward, coldly smirking as he said, "Well, we followed you here, of course."
At that moment, a maid rushed in, not daring to raise her head. "I'm sorry, Ms. Warwick, Ms. Hampton. Mr. Hampton and Mr. Alvarez are here. I didn't dare inform you in advance."
After all, both Carly and Anne depended on Nigel for everything. This villa was part of the Hampton family estate, and all the house staff took orders from Nigel. He was the real master of the household.
Carly was furious. She turned to Adam. "Adam, what's the meaning of this? What do you mean you followed me here?"
Anne was speechless. She truly felt like Carly was the worst kind of partner one could have. It was clear that Adam had set this up to catch them both red-handed.
Celine stepped forward with a forced smile and asked, "Ms. Hampton, you really don't get it, do you?"
Carly froze, then gasped in realization. "Adam, you never really neutralized the Heartstring Venom!"
Adam nodded. "That's right."
"You're still in pain whenever you're near Celine!"
